Queen Games Edo: Strategy, Area Control Board Game for 2-4 Players, Ages 12+

good game

Game arrived quickly and was in immaculate unused condition. Just as described.If you have never played this game I highly recommend it. It takes about half of the first game to really get an understanding of all the nuances of the rules but once you feel comfortable the "plotting to destroy" your competition begins and it becomes very enjoyable to see how many ways you can gain enough victory points to win. I like this game because there are multiple ways to gain points and its not obvious during the game how your opponents are doing so you don't ever feel like your wasting your time.

The description for this game listing is pretty lacking. They left out an important fact, this is the German edition. The writing on the back of the box and the rules are only in German. The publisher does make an English version of the game, but it is not currently on Amazon. Unfortunately there were no reviews on this listing when I bought it. I ended up returning it and buying elsewhere. While the game pieces and board can still be used since they have no language written on them (other than Japanese Kanji), you will have to download the rules on the publisher's website to learn how to play. The game itself is great, but I'd rather have the English version. I'd give it 5 stars for the game, but 1 star for the poor description by Amazon.

This is the type of stratey euro style game that would appeal to those that like to optimize and interact with others simultaneosly. The game has very little luck, so works great for those that like to plan ahead.

Amazon doesn't tell you this but their copies are in German. That's why I give it five educational stars, if you want to learn German, you can start here. Very disappointing purchase - actually the only time I've ever done a review.
